Dancer vs Trailblazer: What are the differences?

Dancer: Simple but powerful web application framework for Perl. Dancer is a free and open source micro web application framework written in Perl; Trailblazer: A new architecture for Rails. Trailblazer is a thin layer on top of Rails. It gently enforces encapsulation, an intuitive code structure and gives you an object-oriented architecture. In a nutshell: Trailblazer makes you write logicless models that purely act as data objects, don't contain callbacks, nested attributes, validations or domain logic. It removes bulky controllers and strong_parameters by supplying additional layers to hold that code and completely replaces helpers.

Dancer and Trailblazer belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.

Dancer and Trailblazer are both open source tools. It seems that Trailblazer with 2.91K GitHub stars and 129 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Dancer with 446 GitHub stars and 264 GitHub forks.
